This curiosity is understandable given the great importance of the process to life on earth. A large body of knowledge exists about photosynthesis and this is organized into it's own chapter. In the context of this chapter, just remember that photosynthesis is another type of metabolism that many life forms employ. Photosynthesis can be divided into two separate areas the light reactions and the dark reactions.
For more information go to the photosynthesis chapter in this textbook, which unfortunately is not ready yet. |
